Description of the Invention (1) Technical Field The present invention relates to an RF-powered plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor and a plasma enhanced reactor. Chemical vapor deposition method. BACKGROUND Semiconductor processes often involve / or depositing a thin film or layer on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, which may or may not have other layers already formed thereon. One way to perform film or wide deposition is through chemical vapor deposition (CVD). CVD involves chemical deposition of a gas phase chemical or reactant that contains components that are intended to be deposited on a substrate or substrate surface. The reactant gas is introduced into a reaction chamber or reactor, and is decomposed and reacted on a heated surface to form a predetermined film or layer. Three existing CVD methods can be used to form a predetermined film or layer. These include: Atmospheric Pressure CVD (APCVD), Low Pressure CVD (LPCVD), and Plasma Enhanced CVD (PECVD). The first two methods (APCVD and LPCVD) are characterized by their pressure and typically use thermal energy as an energy input to perform a predetermined chemical reaction. The method described below (PECVD) is characterized by its pressure plan and energy input method-~ ... I. In PECVD system, it does not rely on thermal energy to initiate and maintain chemical reactions. RF-induced glow discharge is used for transfer Energy is given to the reactant gas. This keeps the substrate cooler than APCVD and LPCVD systems. The substrate temperature is lower than necessary in some cases, because some substrates do not have thermal stability to accept coating by other methods. Other predetermined features include increased deposition rates and the ability to produce films or layers with unique compositions and properties. In addition, the PECVD method and system provide other advantages, such as good adhesion and needle stitching (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page). This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm). 4 Economy The Ministry of Central and South Korea's Central Bank of China's consumer cooperation Du printed B7 five 'Inventory (2) "' Low hole density, good step coverage, proper electrical properties, and compatibility with the fine line pattern transfer process "But the deposition process includes One of the problems associated with PECVD processing is that uneven coverage of the film or layer may particularly cause high aspect ratio bumps, such as what is commonly referred to as "bread rolls" or valve tip problems during deposition. These problems often involve the undesired, non-uniform accumulation of sedimentary materials, with spaces like keyholes appearing between the basic structures on the substrate. The solution of the prior art is to deposit multiple thin layers and interpose plasma etching. Interventional plasma etching is used to remove or cut off the tip to form a more uniform application layer, and then repeat the deposition and etching until a predetermined coverage rate is achieved. Β Hope to improve the PECVD method and the quality of the membrane or layer of the reactor. The invention relates to an improved PECVD processing system and method. The invention also relates to the advantages and features associated with improved PECVD systems, including the aforementioned advantages and features.

Description of the invention (3) Figure 5 shows the first figure Another practice of another preferred power divider for the system. Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a preferred processing method for a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Refer to Figure 1 for the best mode for carrying out the invention and the invention of the beam invention. The plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE (: VD)) reaction system is shown in block diagram in outline at 10. The system 10 includes a gas supply Unit 12, a chemical vapor deposition reactor 14, an RF power divider 6 and an RF power generator 18. The gas supply unit 12 can supply one or more gaseous reactants to the reactor 14 for processing according to the present invention. * Typical These systems use RF-induced glow discharge to transfer energy to the reactant gas. Subsequently, free electrons are generated in the discharge area and they gain energy. Therefore, when they collide with gas molecules, gas-phase dissociation of the reactant gas and ions occur. In this way, 'energy species are absorbed on the work piece or substrate. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Procurement Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ————————— (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The line PECVD reactor 14 defines a processing chamber or volume within which the processing according to the invention is performed. In a first preferred practice, the reactor 14 comprises a parallel plate reactor. The parallel plate reactor can be configured to process only a single half In addition, the reactor is configured to process more than one semiconducting workpiece or wafer. In a second preferred practice, the reactor 14 includes an inductor PECVD reactor. The second preferred practice will be described later. Figures 2 and 3 are discussed in detail. Still referring to Figure 1, the RF power splitter 16 distributes or otherwise divides the RF input power in the preferred specific example illustrated (the rf wheel-in power is used in this paper and the Chinese standard applies to Chinese standards (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 460 A7 B7 Printed by the Central Consumers' Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Printed by the Consumers Cooperative Cooperative V. Invention description (4 rate is generated by the RF power generator 18) becomes the RF power component, which is then used Power to push the individual reactor electrodes. In the best practice, jb is allocated or divided according to the selected power ratio, and the selected power ratio can be manipulated by several members. The preferred ratio is not a direct 1: 1 ratio. The distributed or divided power is then applied to individual electrodes of parts of each layer of the reactor 14 through wires or terminals 15, 17 and will be described in detail later. Referring to Figure 2, the PECVD reactor according to the first best practice is outlined at 2 0 »The reactor 20 preferably includes a capacitive parallel plate reactor, which may or may not be configured to process more than one workpiece or wafer. The preferred reactor 20 defines a processing chamber 21 ′ which includes a first electrode 22 is provided inside. The electrode 22 is configured to support at least one semiconductor workpiece in the form of a semiconductor wafer w. The term "support" is used herein and in conjunction with the specific examples to indicate holding or positioning one or more semiconductors The workpiece can be chemically vapor-deposited in a predetermined orientation. Thus, the semiconductor workpiece can be supported, clamped, or otherwise positioned in a direction other than the horizontal position shown. In addition, although the present invention is discussed in terms of a two-electrode system However, it must be understood that the reactor and method of the present invention can be applied to a system that is not necessarily limited to two electrodes. The first electrode 22 includes a first electrode surface area 24 on which the wafer W rests for processing in accordance with the present invention. In the preferred embodiment, the first electrode 22 is a susceptor which can support a workpiece. The processing chamber 21 includes a second electrode 26 which is disposed inside the chamber. There is a gap between the two electrodes, so the electrodes are properly spaced from each other. In a preferred specific example, the second electrode 26 constitutes a showerhead electrode, which is a working batch sensor and is configured to be supplied with a gaseous reactant by the gas supply unit 12 (Fig. 1). However, the gaseous reactants can be used in this paper (CNS) post code ^ Qx297 ^ binding line (please read the note on the back first and then fill out this page) Printed by the Central Bureau of Procurement, Ministry of Economic Affairs. 6 0 b ^ ^ A7 ___B7_ 5. Description of the invention (5) is introduced into the reactor in other ways. The preferred second electrode 26 defines a second electrode surface area 28, which is different from the first electrode surface area 24 and is preferably smaller. In other words, 'the surface area of the first electrode 24 is greater than the surface area of the second electrode 28. This difference in J6 product between the first and second electrodes allows the electrode to develop RF power differences using only a single RF power source. It will be explained later Obviously easy to see. Still referring to Figure 2, wires 15 and 17 are operatively connected to the first and second electrodes 22, 26, respectively. This wire is connected to the RF power generator 18 (Figure 1) via the RF power divider 16 individually. Electrodes and RF power dividers are discussed below for the purpose of being inserted between the RF power generator and the susceptor and showerhead electrodes. The preferred RF power generator 18 includes a single generator power source, and the power source is a working type Link processing chambers and It is configured to provide rF power to the RF power splitter, which in turn provides RF power to the susceptor and shower head according to the selected power ratio. I will describe in detail later "This is a big novel difference in the previous PECVD reactor, which has only one lotus. The lotus head electrode is powered by an RF power source, and the susceptor electrode is grounded. The single RF power generator illustrated is preferably configured to provide RF power to the electrode, which can effectively develop a plasma processing environment inside the processing chamber and relatively Provide a predetermined bias voltage for semiconductor workpieces. For example, maintaining a better power deviation of the electrodes can help accelerate the ion or ion species toward the workpiece or the crystal, which can promote the coverage rate, especially when the aspect ratio is high. It is possible to obtain a more uniform and / or higher purity of the tritium or layer composition. Referring to FIG. 3 and according to another preferred practice of the present invention, a different type of PECVD reactor 30 is stated. Such a reactor includes an induction coil PECVD. The reactor 30 includes a processing chamber 31, and the inside of the chamber can carry out the application of the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2 丨0X297 mm) ---------- ^ ------ 1T ------ ^ (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Printed by a consumer cooperative 4 6 0 b ^ 6 A7 _ _____ B7 V.

The first electrode 32 is arranged inside the reactor and is configured to support at least one semiconductor workpiece, such as a crystal The first electrode 32 is powered by a better single RF power generator 18 (Fig. 1). According to the present invention, there can be more than one crystal wafer to be processed. Tishidian is outside the processing chamber 31 Including multiple coils, they can be powered by the same preferred single-RF power generator. "With reference to sections 2 and 3, including pEcVD reactors, which include individual electrodes, both are powered by a single RF power generator or power source. According to the first practice, the two-electrode system is disposed inside the processing chamber (Figure 2 according to the second preferred practice. At least one electrode system is disposed outside the processing chamber (Figure 3). The two electrodes of the best practice are all composed of a single electrode. The RF # rate generator is powered by the power generator 18 in Figure 1. As mentioned above, this represents a novel difference from the previous pecvD reactor, in which the two electrodes are not driven by RF power from a common single RF # rate source. In the fourth circle, the preferred RF power splitter is described in 36. In the preferred specific example, the power splitter 36 includes a transformer 38, which includes an input terminal or a primary winding 40 and an output terminal or a secondary winding. 42. The input terminal 40 is operatively coupled or connected to the rf power generator ι8 (FIG. 1) through a coaxial cable 44 and receives the power so generated.

This is desirable when the power divider 36 is used in combination with the PECVD reactor in Figure 2. However, in some cases it has been found that The power ratio of each electrode is proportional to the electrode 22, 26 surface area 24, 28 * Therefore, by changing or manipulating the surface area, the power ratio can be manipulated or selected and affects the number of "seen" of individual electrodes applied by this power component And the second power component. In the preferred specific example, such surface areas are different from each other. The surface area of the susceptor is larger than the surface area of the showerhead. In this way, a power difference can be developed based on a definable relationship. This relationship is determined by a predetermined relative amplitude. Composition, the amplitude is proportional to the inverse ratio of the fourth power of the surface area of the electrode ^ In other words, by changing the relative surface area ratio between the susceptor and the shower head, the applied power can be changed. In the preferred embodiment, the surface area of the second electrode or shower head 26 is smaller than the surface area of the first electrode or susceptor 22. This results in a higher amplitude of power applied to the head than the sensor. This allows the reactants introduced into the chamber 21 to be deposited in a better manner, so that high-energy species are extracted toward the electrode supporting the workpiece. Referring to Section 5 (a), another preferred power splitter is shown schematically at 36 °. This alternative to the better power divider can get the predetermined power difference without considering the electrodes ---------------—...___ 10 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in the guestbook (Page) This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 460606 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (8) The surface area ratio between and is independent of the surface area ratio, regardless of whether these electrodes belong to the reaction shown in Figure 2 This is true of the reactor or the reactor of FIG. 3. Where appropriate, the power splitter is marked with a similar number, the difference is attached by "a" or indicated by a different number. In this way, the power divider 36a includes an input terminal 40, which is any one of the working light-duty RF generator 18 (FIG. 1), and the output terminal 42a, which is any one of the working-type switching better reactors 20'30. In this way, the reactor 20 of the second circle does not need to have a susceptor electrode and a lotus head electrode, and their respective surface areas are relatively close to each other. The power divider 36a preferably allows the selected power ratio to be adjusted by changing the power supplied to the electrode. "In the preferred specific example as described above, the RF power divider includes a transformer having a plurality of secondary windings 42a. As indicated by 48 * can be grounded in varying ways. Still referring to Figure 5 and for illustration purposes, the output 42a is shown as containing nine sets of windings. By selectively grounding different windings or coils, different power ratios can be supplied to the shower head and sensor electrodes. For example, if the number 2 coil or winding is grounded as shown, the first electrode, that is, electrode 22 (picture 2) or 32 (picture 3), receives 2/9 or 22.2% of the input power of the power generator. In this way, the second electrode, that is, the electrode 26 (picture 2) or 34 (picture 3) receives 7/9 or 77.8 ° /. Correlation of input power β, if the coil or winding number 7 is grounded, the power distribution is reversed, that is, the first electrode receives 7/9 input power and the second electrode receives 2/9 input power. The power supplied to the better electrode can be changed to match different processing plans. In the illustrated example of the preferred embodiment, the power divider 36a can be changed by the end user to adjust the selected power ratio to match different processing plansa. This type of processing plan may provide a proper amount of power to the second electrode. Non-first electrode.

Invention Note (9) The power of the electrode is lower than the power supplied to the electrode farther from the workpiece. Thus, two preferred power dividers have been described. The first of these (Figure 4) produces excellent output power with approximately equal amplitude. Such a power divider is suitable for use in a reactor, such as reactor 20 in Fig. 2, in which the final power amplitude provided to the example electrode can be adjusted by changing the electrode surface area ratio. Such a power divider can also be used in combination with the reactor 30. In addition, and equally preferably, the power divider 36a (FIG. 5) allows the output power to be adjusted in a variable manner to a selected power ratio suitable for use in a reactor, such as reactor 20 in FIG. 2, where the electrodes may or may not have an electrode surface area. Meaningful change. In addition, these power dividers can be used preferably and in combination with the reactor 30 of FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 6, a representative flowchart of a preferred method for processing semiconductor workpieces in combination with the aforementioned reactor is schematically shown in FIG. The preferred method includes first placing a semiconductor workpiece in a selected one of the aforementioned PECVD reactors before step 110. According to better practice, a susceptor is provided to support the workpiece inside the processing chamber. According to the specific example of Fig. 2, the shower head electrode 26 is arranged adjacent to the susceptor and is arranged inside the chamber for supplying gaseous reactants. According to the specific example in Fig. 3, at least one of the reactor electrodes is provided outside the chamber. At step 112, the gaseous reactants are supplied to the reactor chamber. At this time, at step 114, RF power from a preferred single or common RF power source is supplied. The rf power supplied at step 116 'is divided into first and second power components, which are selectively supplied to the aforementioned individual electrodes. For example, the first power component is applied to the first electrode in step 118. At step 120, a second power component is applied to the second electrode.
